I am back...

Hello all,

I am back... Where did I go??? Well, I got seriously sick on Friday night and continued to stay ill and on Sunday Curt took me to the hospital. I was admitted immediately for dehydration and a very bad level of pregnancy sickness {they used a BIG word}. I stayed and tried to get better all the while developing a yucky headache. On Monday the doctor was going to let me go home. Right before the nurse came in and took my IV out, my head ache took a turn for the worse. I had a dis-tonic reaction to a medicine called Raeglan {spelling?} and I thought I was having a seizure, the doc thought I was having a seizure. After consulting with an ER doc, they decided that a HUGE load of Benadryl was the trick to reversing this very uncomfortable state I was in. the loaded me up and I was off to Lala land for about 14 hours... Yes, I slept almost straight through the night. The next morning other than feeling very sore from my reaction I was feeling much better. They released me on Tuesday and I stayed home today to rest and hang out around the house.

Thankfully, Mason had a planned weekend with Gran because it was Valentines Day and so he was well taken care of for the weekend, but Gran had to work on Tuesday so she passed my little bug off to Mammie who has been treating him like a King, I am sure. I am so thankful for family who adore my little man and never feel put out when we need them... We could not have even know I was going to get this sick, but they just stepped in and did not even think about themselves, they just made it work... Thanks!

I am also super thankful for my Mom who was right there to take me home from the hospital because Curt had a work even he could not miss out on. she just took off and headed up to check me out. She brought me home, made me a grilled cheese (the first food I got to keep down in 4 days) and then she made sure I was comfortable and she went home. when I woke up Curt was home from work to take care of me. Thanks Mom!

All in all, it was a rough weekend, but it has all worked out. Just the way things are always for us.. I do not know why I ever worry sometimes... I feel like the love of our family and the fact that we are NEVER alone, God is always with us, keeps us constantly taken care of...

That all for me now, I am going to finish up on Lost and then go to bed. I am exhausted.

Love,
Me

  8. Well, a belated CONGRATS on the new baby! I'm glad you feel better - sorry you had to go through that, but glad it's over. Isn't it amazing what we "forget" about being preggers and then just do it again and again?? :-) Here's to a healthier and less-sick next couple weeks and a smooth sailing into your 2nd trimester! We're only about a month apart!
